據ICIS-MRC網站5月25日莫斯科報道,據路透社報道,印度信實工業(Reliance Industries)表示,由于石化和零售業務的反彈,其季度利潤增長了一倍,但由于成本上升了10%,未能達到分析師的預期。
億萬富翁穆凱什·安巴尼領導的這家石油-電信集團表示,截至3月31日的三個月里,該集團的綜合利潤增長了108%,達到1322.7億盧比(合17.9億美元)。根據Refinitiv的數據,分析師的平均預期為1349.1億盧比。
信實的石油化工部門是其煉油和石化業務的總部,其第一季度收入增長了4.5%。這家總部位于孟買的公司受益于聚氯乙烯(PVC)塑料等全球石化產品被壓抑的需求,因為在2020年冠狀病毒疫情爆發后,商業活動開始復蘇。
近年來,信實在電信和零售領域建立了領先業務,以實現業務多元化,不再依賴其主要的能源部門。能源部門一直在從冠狀病毒引發的需求低迷中緩慢復蘇。該公司稱,由于消費者購買了更多的雜貨和服裝,旗下超過1.2萬家商店和超市的零售業務收入增長了20%,這兩類業務的收入創下了歷史新高。盡管如此,該公司表示,印度正在進行的大規模第二波疫情爆發已經導致許多城市封鎖,影響了商店的客流量和消費者信心。

Reliance profit doubles due to petrochemicals rebound
India's Reliance Industries (RIL) said its quarterly profit doubled, led by a rebound in its petrochemicals and retail businesses, but fell short of analysts' estimates as costs jumped 10%, reported Reuters.
The oil-to-telecoms conglomerate, led by billionaire Mukesh Ambani, said consolidated profit climbed 108% to 132.27 billion rupees (USD1.79 billion) in the three months to March 31. Analysts on average had expected 134.91 billion rupees, according to Refinitiv data.
Revenue at Reliance's oil-to-chemicals unit - home to both its refining and petrochemicals operations - rose 4.5% in the March quarter. The Mumbai-headquartered company benefited from pent-up demand globally for petrochemical products like polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastics, as business activity began to pick up after a coronavirus-hit 2020.
Reliance has built leading businesses in telecom and retail in recent years to diversify away from its mainstay energy arm, which has been recovering slowly from a coronavirus-driven slump in demand. Its retail business of more than 12,000 stores and supermarkets posted a 20% jump in revenue as shoppers bought more groceries and apparel, resulting in all-time high revenues in those two categories, Reliance said. Still, India's ongoing massive second wave of the virus, which has spurred lockdowns in many cities, had hit footfalls at stores as well as consumer sentiment, it said.
